8 CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL: NOVEMBER 11, 1869.

INDIANAPOLIS EXCURSION.—The Indianapolis papers furnish full reports of the sayings and doings at the reception extended to the Crawfordsville City Council and citizens by the Council and citizens of Indianapolis. The party, about seventy-live in number, left Crawfordsville at 10 A. M., in the new coaches on the I.. B. it W. Ilailroad. and was received in carriages at the Union Depot Indianapolis, at noon and escorted thence over the city. Dinner was served up to them at -I r. m., at the Pyle House, kept by a Councilman, who of course knew how to feed them. Speeches were made by Mayors Macauley ami Speed, Colonel Willson and Generals Man.son and Coburn. Crawfordsville and Montgomery county were not forgotten' by the speakers from our city. Colonel AVillson. in the course of his remarks stated that thirteen engines and four hundred freight cars had been ordered for the road. Our Council were permitted to see how they do business in the City Council of Indianapolis, and had the honor to be present when the ordinance was passed appropriating fortylive thousand dollars on the part of Indianapolis in aid of the road to which thejr were indebted for the pleasures of the day. The party left the Union Depot at .11 i'. m. and in a little over two hours were at their respective doniicils, from which they issued on Tuesday morning in a remarkably good condition, ready to attest to the generous hospitality of the citizens at the Capital.

DA SILVA'S LECTURE.—Dr. Louis da Silva, who claims to be the genuine "late Surgeon to the Emperor Maxiinillian," delivered his lecture entitled, "The History of the Jesuits,to a respectable audience at Center Church on Monday evening. He made some interesting statements concerning the present status and workings of the llomish Church in Europe and America, warranting him in the belief, which is shared by a. large portion of the reading and thinking class of our own country, that Catholicism is making slow but certain preparations for its establishment as the reigning power in America. He speaks English much after the fashion of a half naturalized Frenchman. But for this fact and his frequent manifestation of excessive vanity, his lecture was good enough for a very intelligen audience.

II. II. THORNBUUG, of Franklin township. whom we remember for hospitalities once extended, called on us last Saturday. We once spent a day in canvassing Union, Franklin and Sugar Creek townships in the direction of Darlington, for subsribers to the JOURNAL, and rode up to Mr. T.'s late in the evening, having found but two Republicans during the day who were not subscribers, and were kindly taken in by him for the night. It was in accordance with his advice, for the reason that the field is already occupied, that we hurried back to the office, wishing some other postoflice could do as well for the JOURNAL as Darlington.

FILL YOUR CELLARS.—All, rich and poor, should see that their cellars are well stocked this Autumn with provisfor Winter. Crops are plenty this year, and though some articles have been completely destroyed by the early frosts, there is yet an abundance for all. Secure the potatoes, turnips, beets parsnips, beans and other garden and farm products. The hard days of Winter will come when it will be seen how much better it is to go to the cellar than to the market or grocery.

P. S. KENNEDY says lie had twojsowson the first of last January, from which he has sold one hundred dollars worth of pigs, besides supplying his family for the Winter. He has the sows yet, and pigs enough to bring him fifty dollars more.

P. S. KENNEDY and lady have gone to Danville, their old home, on a visit of business and pleasure. Mr. K. is employed in a seduction case which is to be tried in the Circuit Court now in session at that place.

LAST Sunday two little boys aged about two years were seen sitting on a doorstep "learning to be men." They had a cob pipe, which was smoked by one until he felt a little pale, and then passed to the other.

Tin: man of the Canary birds recommends as food for them nothing but seeds and cuttle, bone, with a good supply of fresh water. He says the lives of those, kept by most persons are usually shortened several years by over-feeding.

A FISHING party, consisting of W. K. Wallace, T. T. Scott and Frank Elston, returned from the Kankakee last

iron-

day with about a thousand pounds of tish. The party was gone a week, and report luck splendid.

A MAN near Potato Creek gathered twenty-one bushels of hickory nuts last week in less than two days. Dr. Berryman is the authority, who says that this same man, Mr. Rine, has twenty-five bushels of nuts stowed away for his family and the printers.

EX-TREASURER Mvrick has deferred his departure for the West and gone to teaching school near Ladoga. Its a hard thing. Captain, for a man who is bent on farm life to go into a school room, but its a good thing to cultivate a man's patience, if he has any.

A LARGE delegation from the Woman Sull'rage Association of this county is in attendance at the District Convention at LaFayette. We. understand that a delegate is to be elected to represent the Seventh Congressional District in the National Convention at Cleveland, on the 2."»t.h of this month.

A LOOK at the report of the City School-*, published in another column, will exhibit the tact that the combined (salaries of the Trustees amounted to jonly forty-two dollars and liftv cents, inciuding necessary expenses incurred in taking the enumeration. Can the

Trustees of any other city render a better account

REMOVAL.—'The forty-two gallon cof­|ware, fee pot that has stood for the last seven vears in front of McClelland Hall a a sign of the cheap wares sold by Robb & Mahorney, will be moved this week to their mammoth iron front, one square south of the present stand. Their entire stock, including the tin shop, will be moved to the same place about the 25th of the month.

WE publish this week a call for a temperance meeting signed by numerous citizens. The time selected for the meet ing by the Committee appointed for the purpose is Tuesday, November 23, at 0:30 P.M., at Center Church. Rev. C. Martindale, President of the Indiana State Temperance Alliance, is expected to be present on the occasion.

PREPARATIONS arc being made by the Firemen of the city for a grand concert next Thursday evening. The programme will be in three parts, consisting of music, tableaux and pantomimes. The services of the Galcy boys have been secured for the occasion. It is but reasonable to expect that it will be a success, as men of energy have it in charge, and as the proceeds are intended for the benefit oftlie Fire Department.

STOP ARE performed with considerable success last week, the distribution of prizes at the close of his performances attracting good crowds. Mrs. Dickson and Clay Schooler succeeded in drawing the principal gifts the first night, a set of dishes and a watch. A. F. Ramsey carried ofl' the Bureau on Friday night, and Mrs. Cook the set of furniture on Saturday. But the luckiest one of them all was our lumber man, Van Deusen, who carried ofl' a set of hoops on the first, night.

THE Good Templars' oyster supper last Tuesday evening passed oft' pleasantly enough. The jewelry was voted to Miss Fannie Hightower. and the ring to Ab Gerard. The. first vote for the prettiest girl resulted in a tie between Miss Lizzie Bell and Miss Fannie Hightower. A second vote, however resulted, Miss Hightower, 220 Miss Bell,lG0. The vote for the ugliest man was lighter, Mr. Ab Gerard carrying off the ring easily with ten votes.
